Stunningly beautiful long advanced course with water, OB, and steep, rugged terrain. A fine mix of water and forest and hill. Great for advanced players in peak physical shape.

The 1st four holes are essentially unplayable, IMO, due to water, snakes and barbed wire. Or feel free to lose some discs. . Yes. Snakes. The mountain is a 60+ degree incline and the terrain is extremely rugged. A few holes are perched so that a missed shot could fall 200+ feet into the valley below. I would not advise playing this course alone because, if you get injured, it would be difficult to get out. Players with breathing or heart conditions might find the steep climb up the cliff face too challenging. It would be helpful to have the online map (http://www.pdga.com/course-di...side-bluffs).Bring hiking shoes/boots, water, and a cell phone in case you need rescue. Be careful leaving the course on #18 as it would be easy to slip and roll 200 feet down the rugged (rock scrabble) mountain side. I walked about half the course (couldn't find #6-14) without throwing but still found myself suffering from sore muscles and shoulder/neck strain 24 hours later. But I am over 50, so there's that.

Summary: Take your hiking shoes and some disposable discs and be prepared for an extremely physical and beautiful hike. About 11 holes are (realistically) playable. Beware of snakes and barbed wire. It would be easy to fall due to the steep inclines. Anyone with breathing or heart issues should beware. The course itself is advanced intermediate but parts of it could be unplayable for non-athletes due to OB issues (barbed wire, water, and extreme inclines). Still, it's spectacular. I might come back and try it again. It would be more fun with local player guides.
